This page is designed for Eclipse Foundation staff who need to manage click-tracking
campaigns and as an added bonus - it shortens most URLs. If you need help with
this feature, see help at bottom of page, and feel free to email donald, who works at eclipse.org.

How to Create a Campaign
A simple use case is:
- Enter a campaign name such as "FOO". Keep it short and sweet, no spaces, just use Characters and numbers.
- Enter a target URL (MUST put http://) such as http://test.com/long/url/foo.php
- Enter an expiry date (after that date clicks to the campaign will go to an "expired campaign" error page).
- Enter Campaign Group (or leave at SOLO if it stands alone). This helps you manage related campaigns in a single newsletter for example.
- Click "Create Campaign" Button
- Point people to http://eclipse.org/go/FOO (where FOO is the campaign name), they will automatically be redirected to
the target URL, and we will track who-clicked-what-when.
Notes:
- Click the "View Campaigns" button to view campaigns that are related to the person or group you chose.
- Click the "view clicks" button to see the clicks to your campaign!
- It is possible to add a SubKey (lets call it a "channel key") to URLs if you want to distinguish between
clicks coming from different channels. For example, eclipse.org/go/FOO@EM and eclipse.org/go/FOO@WB --
both will record and redirect
the FOO Campaign, but will tag the click with an "EM" (for Email)or "WB" (for Web)
in the click results to distinguish
clicks coming from channels.
- For Email Campaings we could get really fancy with a "Mail Merge" tool and encode a
user ID after the @ in the URL to know *exactly* who is clicking on links. For example,
eclipse.org/go/FOO@1287 would record 1287 with the click and we could tell that
member 1287 clicked the url...
